Highlander: Eidos proves that with exceptions, there can be more than one Posted 17 January 2008 by SRVSLPS Recommended VideosAn exact release date hasn’t been nailed down yet, but Eidos has released a trailer giving us an idea of what we can expect out of the game based on the name nerds and Sci-Fi buffs (present company included) have labeled a cult classic powerhouse. Taking place over a myriad of locations spanning a 2,000-year period, you play as Owen MacLeod, and as one of the Immortals, you are a marked man. Your victory against the mysterious man that seeks to destroy you hinges on the mystical power of a stone, which at the moment is fragmented in three pieces, must be unified. Utilizing the cat-like agility and swordsmanship that Immortals are known for, you will set out on a journey ranging from 1st century Pompeii, all the way to a near-future New York. Along the way, the idea is to see for yourself what it feels to wield the immense power of a being that can only be fallen by a swift beheading. If the video isn’t enough to wet your whistle, IGN has some more details (and stills) on tap. While the whole concept of Highlander revolves around the idea that there can only be one, Eidos is making an exception for us. Highlander will be available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and of course, PCs some time in 2008. It’s too early to call, but something tells me that this game is going to have a polarizing effect. Either it’s going to be well received, or completely trashed by the fanbase and gamers alike. Here’s to hoping for the former. Can we hope to have a good Highlander game without Christopher Lambert? We’ll find out soon enough. About The Author SRVSLPS More Stories by SRVSLPS Filed under... #Does it suck?#Trailers
